@cstross annoying billionaires is a worthy endeavor, but this framing implies the axiom "intentional misgendering/deadnaming are acceptable if the target is considered sufficiently loathsome."
@cstross obviously not, and I almost noted as much in my reply. :) But that was a third-order thought for me; the first two were "lol screw that guy" and "...but I can't boost something that even *appears* to give cover to transphobes," and the second point seemed the most salient to me.
